The Guelf, the Ghibellin may be to curse—

I have done nothing, but both sides do worse

Than nothing. Nay, to me, forgotten, reft

Of insight, lapped by trees and flowers, was left

The notion of a service—ha? What lured

Me here, what mighty aim was I assured

Must move Taurello? What if there remained

Have men a cause distinct from both?

A cause, intact, distinct from these, ordained

For me, its true discoverer?"
